Hi.

I'm kind of new to the tropical fish, as i am only 15 and my parents finally said i can change from cold water to tropical. So i brought a heater and whatnot, some fish, of which include a male and female swordtail. The female seems to have a gravid spot, and she looks rather fat. I am sure she is pregnant, but as i have never delt with a pregnant fish, i am not 100% positive. I have uploaded some photos of the fish, hoping that someone can tell me if she is expecting. The photos are not very clear, but i have uploaded the clearest ones i had.

Thank you for your help :)

I think she is 100% preganant, because she has a gravid spot and is very fat. so you should expect some fry in 1/2 weeks.
good luck.
 
Welcome to the forum Clickmaster.
I would guess that your female is well along from the last picture. In the other 3 I cannot see well enough to say. I never go by color but the shape in he last one looks right.
